Nathan's Wish: A Story about Cerebral Palsy

32 pp. | Whitman | April, 2005 | Trade ISBN 0-8075-7101-6 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Stacey Schuett. At neighbor Miss Sandy's raptor rehabilitation center, Nathan suggests giving a screech owl with a broken wing some orphaned owlets to care for. Nathan then finds a way, even with his own cerebral palsy, to help Miss Sandy with her chores and tasks. Despite the pointed parallel between disabled owl and boy, the story, accompanied by warm illustrations, has energy.
